He looks about three beers away from an appearance in 'Meet the Feebles'. Luckily, they serve beer at Chuck E. Cheese.

I remain cautiously optimistic that Totilo et al. know there are some problems with how the new system is playing out at Kotaku and will at least attempt to address what concerns they can. I bring up these issues so that they are on the table during those discussions. Having been through this before, it's not

In a 'funny how you just killed me for doing what it seemed like I should do' ha-ha sort of way... Limbo is comedy for fans of knee slappers like the original Super Mario Bros. 2 (SMB: The Lost Levels, I think it's called?). Personally, I chuckled through the Platformance games, so I see where Kirk is coming from.

I guess, as with anything, there is a de facto incentive structure that results from the new system. To an extent, that's conscious. I just hope that the kind of comment that Kinja encourages is to the staff's liking, because I believe the intentions are good. Or that the system is capable of being tweaked if it turns

I do have one comment, having some small experience with Kinja under my belt. As with this article, I am early to the table. There's one comment showing, and it's not a great conversation starter. The problem I ran into was that I posted a couple of long, (I hope!) thoughtful comments, that by the time they were

I agree with St. John, to a point, but for me it's about the quality of the voice work, although I agree there is a fairness issue. I think the fairness issue could probably be resolved by flattening the pay somewhat between the rank-and-file and celebrity voices, which would make VA jobs less attractive for

I don't think Legend of Korra is perfect, but then neither was Avatar: The Last Airbender. Avatar was great, but it suffered from pacing problems too, namely that there were too many episodes. Korra had the opposite problem, to a greater degree. One of the many, many things I loved about the original series was that

So just why isn't Lars von Trier directing Thor 2? In which Jane Foster is dragged through the rotted twisted roots of Yggdrasil and then separates Thor from his... hammer.

I still like Beta Text, Water Cooler does make sense, and though I don't think it'll take, I'll throw it out there... The Sausage, as in 'how the sausage gets made'. Anyway, just throwing my Sausage into the ring.

I feel about the same way as I do about The Pale King, the posthumous, unfinished David Foster Wallace novel. It's not like a lot of casual or non-fans are going to pick these things up and form their opinion of the artist, but for true fans and scholars, it's edifying to see what ideas these artists were wrestling

Awesome. Thanks for the update.

Are we really losing our comment history, or is this temporary?

I kind of agree with both Jason and Stephen. I think 3D is a fine feature, and I think Nintendo will continue to use it in sometimes exciting ways. I don't think they'll stop featuring 3D prominently in their games. But 3D as a focus for Nintendo's marketing energy was going nowhere, the focus should and will be on

I'm not 'going anywhere', either. As much as I have enjoyed reading and making comments, the days when I did that frequently have been over for some time now. Gawker likes to burn bridges from time to time, meh. But I still like Kotaku for its reporting, its opinions, its many varied voices. I don't know if our

Meredith's a waterbender... and, and... a bloodbender... and, and... Tarlok's brother!

I'm positive I heard the battery life was better on the XL, which makes sense, most of the innards would be the same, ergo more room for a larger battery. The head-scratcher is the lack of a second thumb pad. I guess Nintendo isn't going to push support for twin stick play, which is a shame. But if these initial

Agreed. I just loved the opening of Wall-E, and the back half, while entertaining, seemed to betray the simplicity and beauty that had pulled me in. I won't say it was terrible or even bad, but it seemed headed for greatness, like it had to average out to be as noisy, garish and broad as the average movie, and since

It's weird... I agree that Brave didn't clobber me with greatness. And in a way, I wasn't fully satisfied by the films feminism: certainly I don't believe in arranged marriages, but I had hoped that the story would refute them while blowing past the issue and allowing Merida to kick some ass. But I really bought into

I voted for Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but Raisin Nut Bran deserved a spot on the poll. I wish you could buy bags of the raisins from RNB, for the purpose of adding them to CTC, resulting in Cinnamon Raisin Toast Crunch.

If we're talking raisin-based cereals, I have to go with Raisin Nut Bran, but I like your tatoo. It's not common, it'll start conversations about your presumed atheism, and it's funny. Good job.
